pointed TO the command Of the Confederate
army in Virginia. Thenceforward till the
end that illustrious name stood at the head of
its roll of generals. Its defeats were his, its
successes his successes At the time the war
broke out, Robert E. Lee was an officer of
thirty-six years standing in the United States
army. He was So years old. His father was

the officer who originated tho fine phrase
about Washington, "First in war, first in
peace and first in the hearts OF his country
men,"
Robert E. Lee was opposed to secession, but
he felt bound to the state of Virginia. There
fore, June is, 1861, the day after the Virginia
ordinance Of secession was passed, he went to
Gen. Scott and resigned his place in the
army. He said of his resignation: Itwould
have been presented at once but for the strug-
gle 1t has cost me to separate myself from
service to which have devoted all the best
years of my life and all the ability pos
sessed"
Some of McClellans ablest officers were of
opinion that he could have pushed on imme-
diately after the battle of Fair Oaks and have
taken Richmond without much difficulty.
The way was open there. But he did not
think so. He simply crawled ahead little
further and intrenched.
Meantime Gen, Lee began fortifying around
Richmond with oil the resources at his COM
mand. In few days, almost as If by magic,
there appeared on every commanding spot
about the Confederate capital trowning de-
fenses and cannon and guards. After that it
was too late to take Richmond without great
loss
On Juno 1, 1909, Mcclellan had with him
1880 fighting nIcn-five corps. Lee had S0.-
762. Lees mon were in divisions under Gems

Grape vines may be trimmed

into three-eye cuttings, and buri-
cd in the cellar FOR opling setting.
The Same, too, with curants and
gooseberries, ii no5done before. It
is said that u pound of copperas
seated under each grape vine is a
preventive to grape rot and mil
dew; as it is so cheap it will cost
bat little to tryit.
To make hens lay. take four
quarts Of water, to which q broken
pepper pod or a teaspoonful Of
cayenne pepper has been added;
then stir in enough brand and corn
meal to thicken it; add some horse
raddish or onions chopped fine,
and then boil slowly. Feed once
day a handful to each hen. In
winter feed charcoal and parched
corn freely. Take ears of corn and
lay in a dripping pan in the stove
and roast until nearly black. With
sharp mince meat cutter, chop
the corn in small pieces cob and
all, then scatter lot of straw on
the house floor, and LET the fowls
scratch for the corn. Feed vari-
ETY. of grains, giving shelled corn
only at night, while meat should
be given only three times week.

Early Pasture

Early pasture, so serviceable on
every farm, is to be secured by
sowing grasses which start early,
not by turning the stock on the
grass assoon as it is high enough
to be grazed. The grass must make
a considerable growth before it is
fit for food, and the more favor
able the weather, the greater the
growth required. Young grass
has too large a proportion of wa
Ter, and when eaten by animals,
physics them while affording little
nutriment. 1t is not uncommon
to see amin ais turned on pasture
early, lose flesh. The pastures also
are injured. The ground is wet
and soft, and all the grasses, ex-
cept possibly Blue Gras, are i'm
paired by the rampling they SUI
er. Grazed upon before they have
made a good root growth and gath
cred considerable vigor, grasses
are slow TO start up again, and
their growth is feeble. Pasturing
early, therefore, is extrayagant. II
the animals are kept on dry feed
two weeks longer, they will con-
tinue to gain flesh instead OF los
ing. A patch of rye should be
sown in the fall for early spring

Poultry on the Farm.

Poultry on a farm are as much
necessity as cows or hogs. What
would many of the dishes which
farmers wives and daughters pre-
pare for the family be, if it We're
not for the hen fruit they contain ?
But poultry, to be profitable,
should run at large. They are
good foragers, will destroy vast
numbers Of injurious insects, and
at certain seasons Of the year
should be allowed free to every
part OF the farm, including the
garden. No better place can be
found for hen and chickens in
the spring of the year than the
garden. As soon as the chicks are
able TO run about confine the hen
in a coop in the garden sufficient
~ open to allow the chicks to run
in and out, changing the same to
a fresh place daily, and the chicks
VIII then live principally on in
sects. The benefits to be derived
from so doing are a great saving OF
food, a healthier and more rapid
growth of chicks, the garden kept
clear of insects, and better fruit
and vegetables the result.
That there is difference in the
various families of fowls none will
dispute, and the question then is
which is the best for the farmer tc
keep-that is, which are the east.
est to raise and return the most
profit?
Among the different breeds O
fowls some persons prefer one ans
some another. We must say we
have found the Black-Breastec
Red Game to be good. They arr
not only as hardy as any others
but are good layers, good mothers
good foragers, and all but in sizI
among the best table fowls. Then
eggs are Of fine flavor, and as tt
their pugnacity, they are not more
pugnacious than some Of Other
breeds. Next to these we place
the old-fashioned Dominique. We
are now writing for the farmer
